Compassion, and the Lack Thereof

by ImperialArchangel

It is a commonly known fact that those who suffer abuse often become those who abuse. Abused children become child abusers, and the bullied become bullies. It takes a special kind of hero to lift people out of that cycle, and Izuku was, uplifted by All Might. But what if he hadn't been? [discontinued]

28. Discontinuation

Heya, yall, this is Imp. It's been a while.

CATLT has always been a project I've wanted to get back to, but have never been able to. And, all things considered, the story doesn't speak to me in the same way anymore. I wrote it as a teenager, as a way to vent and process things going on in my life that, frankly, aren't around anymore. I'm older now, living somewhere new, going to grad school, just... not the same person what needed that fic. I've changed, and maybe I could force myself to keep writing, but it wouldn't be the same. It wouldn't have heart in it, and that wouldn't be fair to anyone.

So, I've decided to officially abandon this fic. I haven't updated it in years, but it's important to say regardless. I will continue writing, of course; part of the reason I'm putting this up is because I am starting another fic, one that I'm using to process and vent what I'm going through now. Maybe it'll interest you, maybe it won't. But CATLT, having reached an uncertain end, both as a story and in my own life, has concluded. It's been a ride.

See y'all next time.
